I’m a Witch In Dongying

Asakura Rie finally finished telling what he had to say, and then swept around: "Do you have any questions?"

half an hour...

"That is to say..."

"If you want to attack the stronghold of the Jiuju faction, you need to pass through at least six blocks, including two "high-risk" blocks and three "moderate-risk" blocks. "

It was Tsuchimikado Seigoro who spoke.

Asakura Rie nodded slightly: "Theoretically, yes."

"Is there no other way?"

"It can only be said that it cannot be determined. Because according to our speculation, this "unmanned city" is very vast, and its area may not be inferior to Tokyo, or even larger, and more than 80% of which are unexplored areas. , it does not rule out the possibility that there are other routes leading to the stronghold of Jiuju Yi faction, but the risks along the way may be higher.

If the goal is to "explore", then we can naturally set up a stronghold first, and then slowly open up wasteland in the form of radiation.

But this time the goal is to "annihilate" the Jiuju faction. The soldiers are very expensive, and there is not much time for trial and error, so I can only choose this proven path.

Of course……

It may not be possible to completely follow the planned route, so it is necessary to estimate the degree of danger in the adjacent areas on both sides of the route based on the existing situation, your understanding of the "inner world" and your experience in fighting evil spirits. . In this regard, Xiaoqiu should provide us with some accurate and effective information. "

"I have a question……"

Mochizuki Shahe coughed and asked, "Since we have discovered the stronghold of the Jiuju faction, will they relocate their stronghold to other places because of this?

Also, since these evil cultivators have been operating in the "inner world" for so long, they should be more familiar with the environment and ecosystem there.

Even if they have not only established a stronghold, or have already subdued some evil things in the "inner world" into their own shikigami... Then if we rush into the "inner world", wouldn't we just step into their ambush lock up? "

"The possibility does exist, but it's not very high."

Asakura Rie responded: "Because most of the evil things in the "Ultra World" do not have intelligence, they just follow the instinctive desire to kill and devour. Even if they are not afraid of death, they want to Conquering them as Shikigami is even more difficult than simply killing them. A little carelessness is the result of playing with fire and setting yourself on fire.

Even if the Jiuju faction can do this, they can only clean up a few relatively safe areas as backup strongholds, but it is impossible to change the ecological structure of the entire "inner world".

If you can do the latter...

Then they should have released the evil things on that side in this world long ago, and shot at us people, instead of making a fuss about the "holy water" in those believers by wandering around like now. Being able to do this kind of behavior itself shows that they don't have enough control over the "inner world". "

When it was said that "the evil things in the inner world are not easy to conquer", Asakura Rie quietly glanced at Bai Shuiqiu.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Bai Shuiqiu also knew that this girl probably knew that she had conquered Hong Wu.

The existence of the latter can deceive others, but it is still a bit unrealistic to deceive this genius...

the other side……

Mochizuki Sandhe nodded: "That's what I said..."

The atmosphere in the hall fell into a brief silence.

Bai Shuiqiu also listened to their conversation silently by the side, coughed lightly, and added in a low voice: "Actually, there is another key point, that is, the Jiuju faction can live in the "inner world", but cannot thrive there. …”

To put it simply, Jiuju's faction cannot have children in the "inner world".

This is determined by the characteristics of the "inner world".

Even if these guys really dare to challenge the limits of human beings, they don't care about the ubiquitous evils in the "inner world" and create life in such a ghost place, it is hard to imagine that newly born children can grow up safely in that world...

Therefore, there is a high probability that there is more than one stronghold of the Jiuju faction, and another one exists in this world.

As for the stronghold in the "Inner World", it was more like a refuge.

——Because the cultivators of the Nine Ju sect are very rare, they don’t seem to have the habit of opening their doors and recruiting disciples. There are probably only a dozen or so newcomers in each generation. Potential cultivators die prematurely, or are killed by the cultivating forces in this world.

In response to this speculation, there is a key piece of evidence that after the hunchbacked old man was burned to death by the old monster, when the ghost-shuling Ayaka went to retrieve the "Cloud Outside Mirror" in the latter's hand, she was once killed by the "inner world". Besieged by evil, and almost lost a body.

Even a cultivator like Ghost Shuling Xiang would encounter such a trap. If the Nine Ju sect really reproduced there, there would be no bones left that would have been eaten long ago.

From another point of view...

If the Jiuju faction really established a stronghold in the world, and hundreds of years have passed since the Kamakura era, after several sieges and suppression by the mainstream practitioners, it has never been exposed, and even the inheritance has not been cut off, and it can continue from the Ashiya Doman period. Continuing to the present, it itself shows that the hidden ability of this group of guys is extraordinary.

Bai Shuiqiu is even more suspicious that the legendary figure Ashiya Doman is still alive...

"Well, that's exactly why Nanami and I invited everyone here."

Rie Asakura nodded lightly: "In short, the action has not yet started. If you have any questions or ideas, you can feel free to raise them, so that our action plan can be foolproof."

...

What followed was a discussion that lasted for hours.

Among the group of people present, Bai Shuiqiu was the only one who really entered the "inner world".

But after all, the rest of the people were born in a family of cultivation, either with deep qualifications and extensive knowledge, or the outstanding talents of the younger generation. Just pick one out, and you can go to the University of Tokyo to give a lecture on folklore...except Bai Shuiqiu.

As for the monsters who have personally fought against each other, among the people here, I am afraid that only Master Tianyuan and Asakura Asami can compare with Bai Shuiqiu, and there is a high probability that they cannot be compared.

But in terms of spiritual awareness, Bai Shuiqiu may be the weakest among the people present.

no way……

After all, the ancestors of the Baishui family have experienced two inheritance faults. Her understanding of the supernatural level has gradually accumulated in the process of encountering sneaky encounters again and again. It was only intermittently when she encountered the old monster and after the second awakening of the rain girl. gain some systematic knowledge.

But compared with the vast collection of ancient books such as Yasaka Shrine, it is nothing...

So during these few hours of discussion, Bai Shuiqiu spent most of the time listening.

Then, using the content of Master Tian Yuan and others, and his original ideas, to constantly verify and correct mistakes, after listening to a meeting, there is a feeling of "listening to your words is better than listening to one's words".

but……

Although this meeting lasted for a long time, the shorthand of the meeting made by Fujiwara Nanami was as many as seven or eight pages, densely packed with thousands of words.

But until the end, a group of people did not discuss a perfect course of action.

In other words, this kind of plan does not exist at all, otherwise the Jiuju faction would not have to work so hard to set up its stronghold in an unknown place like the "Inner World"... It is a bit risky to completely defeat these guys. It has to be risked.

"It's really hard for everyone today."

After several hours of high-intensity discussion and thinking, even Asakura Rie showed a tired look on his face: "Next, please move to the next hall first, where lunch is already prepared, wait. After eating, everyone please go back to rest and prepare for departure.

I will further refine the plan based on the preliminary plan just now, and I will inform you again at that time. "

"good."

After a brief silence, several people present looked at each other, then got up and left in turn.

First, Tuyumen and Mochizuki Shahe, Master Tianyuan walked last.

And Bai Shuiqiu and Asakura Asami didn't move for the time being.

As the others left one after another, Asakura Asami's expression seemed to have become a lot easier.

This girl was originally a lively character. She had been sitting there quietly just now, thinking that she was deliberately holding back. At this moment, the outsiders left, and only "my own people" were left, and she began to reveal her true self. Spreading his arms, he lay back on the bamboo floor with his upper body, showing a comfortable expression: "Huhu, it's finally over... I said, sister, what's there to discuss about this kind of thing, since it's already been done. Knowing where those guys are nesting, and Xiaoqiu's blood can open the "Gate of Yellow Springs", why don't we just go in there?

No matter how cunning those guys are, as long as all their shelters are destroyed, won't the matter be resolved? "

Asakura Rie silently glanced at Mami and said nothing.

Bai Shuiqiu also drank two more sips of the tea in the cup, raised his head, looked at Asakura Rie with a little worry, and asked a question he hadn't said just now: "Sister Rie, are you sure, let Master Tianyuan and Tu Did Mito and the others enter the "Ultra World" together? "

To be honest, Bai Shuiqiu was a little worried.

It is true that Master Tian Yuan's cultivation may be good, but after all, he is in his seventies and eighties.

At this age, being able to run, jump, and watch is already a miracle. If he goes to a dangerous place like the "inner world" again, Bai Shuiqiu is worried that this old man may be. won't come back...

She and Master Tian Yuan are barely friends. It would be a pity if the latter died in this way.

As for Tsuchimikado Seigoro...

Bai Shuiqiu was mainly worried that they would give birth to a back bone.

If the latter can really do his best to help, Bai Shuiqiu wouldn't mind cooperating with them once, but judging from the performance when he entered the door just now and the discussion later, the two of Tuyumen's family are still a bit unkind. Taste, it is difficult to say how much sincerity is behind participating in this operation.

If there is a backstab at a critical moment, the consequences may be much worse than the direct tearing of the face now.

Asakura Rie smiled and said softly: "Don't worry, don't look at the age of Master Tianyuan, his Buddhist attainments are quite superb, the current host of Kiyomizu Temple is just his nephew, I really need to discuss it in detail. Up to now, there are no more than three eminent monks in the entire Eastern Ying Dharma world who can steadily surpass him.

Moreover, the spells practiced at Kiyomizu Temple originated from the "Fa Xiangzong" of Master Xuanzang, including the "Six-character Mantra" that naturally restrains almost all kinds of evil, and its versatility exceeds that of all other Buddhist sects.

Those spells in his hand can be quite useful when the opponent is the "inner world" creatures. "

"As for Tuyumen..."

Asakura Rie raised his head slightly and looked outside the door: "Although these guys have unpleasant personalities and are indeed selfish, as descendants of Duke Seimei, at least as a human being, the bottom line can be kept. There may be cases of ineffective work, but they can't do things that betray humanity."

Co-author Asakura Rie's moral standards for the Tsuchimikado family have dropped to such a low level... As long as you don't do "human rape", everything else is easy to say?

Bai Shuiqiu sighed and did not continue to entangle on this topic.

"By the way, I have another guess about Ashiya Doman in the Heian period..."

Chapter 750 An Unsolved Fate (two in one)

Regarding the topic of Ashiya Michiman, Bai Shuiqiu had taken the time to talk to Rain Girl once before.

But the latter can't give an accurate answer. After all, Ashiya Doman's existence is too mysterious, and there is almost nothing else in the surviving data except those folk stories.

The rain girl was born in the Edo period, when Ashiya Doman disappeared long ago.

Whether it was the Shirasu Shrine in Glauber's Salt Mountain or the Tenmu Shrine in Narita City, until Shirai Sana, they had never dealt directly with the Jiuju faction.

——In fact, it is useless even if you have dealt with each other.

Because, almost all members of the Jiuju faction have a kind of prohibition in their minds. As long as they die, whether they commit suicide or are killed by others, their bodies will be burned immediately, and their bones will be smashed to ashes on the spot, just like when Bai Shuiqiu met before. The same as Chigen and others who have been there.

So even if they were killed, there was absolutely no way to get information about the Jiuju faction from them.

Just like Bai Shuiqiu, she has encountered several evil cultivators of the Nine Ju sect so far, but the information she has obtained from them is not as good as the information she has obtained from the leaders and elders of the White Lotus Sect.

Therefore, Yu Nu also has a half-understood understanding of the foundation of these evil cultivators.

As for Jiufeng Ziyuan...

When Ashiya Doman and Abe Seimei were fighting, she was busy escaping the pursuit of the Hojo family and the ghost clan, and later had nothing to do with the Jiuju faction.

Therefore, as for Bai Shuiqiu's speculations about "the flow of time" and "Daoman's talk about the ghost beam Ayaka", Rain Maiden and the old monster cannot give practical and effective opinions.

At this moment, in front of Sister Asakura, Bai Shuiqiu said these thoughts again.

Asakura Rie silently listened to her finish the situation, and then said, "Master Tianyuan and Shahe also mentioned this to me before, but my hexagram technique can't calculate what happened so long ago.

In addition, the "inner world" itself is another world that is isolated from the present world, and even a relatively vague divination cannot take effect there.

Therefore, there is no way to judge whether Ashiya Michiman is really alive...

But even if he is still alive, we must act.

Or, if this is the case, then we should act as soon as possible.

Because if Ashiya Michiman can live from the Heian era to the present, it means that as long as no one kills him, he can continue to survive for a long time. In that case, the Jiuju faction will only become more and more difficult to deal with, and even eventually evolve An existence like the Orochi in ancient times.

You also know from Sawa before that no one has entered the "inner world" since the Kamakura period in the Kyoto practice world. We know too little about the things over there. This is a very dangerous thing. It's just that the long-term peace made everyone subconsciously ignore this. And this time, maybe it's an opportunity.

There may be some casualties, but if it can wake up the practitioners in this world, that's not bad.

Otherwise, once there is a real change, the "Gate of Yellow Springs" will be opened again like in Kyoto back then, and when the evil things in the "inner world" appear in large numbers in this world... I am afraid it will be the end of the entire Eastern Ying, and even all human beings. "

"So, Sister Lie, have you thought about it for so long?"

Bai Shuiqiu was a little surprised.

She originally thought she had discovered her blind spot, but now it seems that Asakura Rie has considered it far more than her.

In this case, she was unfounded.

"No, it's just because of the habit of childhood, I like to think a few steps more than others, just like playing chess.

In fact, Xiaoqiu, if you can mention this, you have already thought more thoroughly than others. "

Asakura Rie smiled, glanced at Asakura Asami, who was still lying on the floor, and then said again: "We will all do our best to fight against the evil cultivators of the Nine Ju clique, but enter the " The inner world", you need Xiaoqiu's strength.

Because only you have the ability to open the "Gate of Yellow Springs" and lead us into that "unmanned city".

If possible... I hope that Qingluhuo can also come to help.

Although this matter may not be directly related to her, but the threat of Jiuju's faction is not eliminated, and the peaceful life she hopes cannot be realized. "

"Understood, I will pass these words on to my shikigami. As for whether she will come or not, I can't guarantee it."

Bai Shuiqiu didn't dare to say too much.
